Harvard's Share in Conrey Dredging Drives Big Profits
Harvard owns over 60 percent of the Conrey company stock and has seen dividends exceeding 1.5 million. A 1910 master dredge with a 17 foot bucket cut operating costs and boosted yardage, yielding a potential 3 million more from four years of work and unworked ground. The endeavor could net Harvard over 3 million in total profits, about half of Alder gulch dredging gains.
